A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
Interest, upon which we commonly lay the Blame of all our ill Actions, oftentimes deserves the commendation due to our Good ones.
[L’intérêt, que l’on accuse de tous nos crimes, mérite souvent d’être loué de nos bonnes actions.]François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶305 (1665-1678) [tr. Stanhope (1694)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/la-rochefoucauld-fra…

Mystery Time:
It wasn't there yesterday, was there this morning when I just went outside to feed a magpie..
Someone has placed good quality mulch and soil all over my heat-ravaged garden that died off during the last summer apart from a few established stronger plants/bushes 😮
Whoever you are THANKYOU! I couldn't manage it with my back and health, but now I can at least manage to replant some nice ground cover and blooms over time, now that the good quality soil is in 👍 👍 🌼

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.” Instead, “if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink, for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
[μὴ ἑαυτοὺς ἐκδικοῦντες, ἀγαπητοί, ἀλλὰ δότε τόπον τῇ ὀργῇ, γέγραπται γάρ, ” Ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις, ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω,” λέγει κύριος. ἀλλ᾽ ” ἐὰν πεινᾷ ὁ ἐχθρός σου, ψώμιζε αὐτόν· ἐὰν διψᾷ, πότιζε αὐτόν· τοῦτο γὰρ ποιῶν ἄνθρακας πυρὸς σωρεύσεις ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.” μὴ νικῶ ὑπὸ τοῦ κακοῦ ἀλλὰ νίκα ἐν τῷ ἀγαθῷ τὸ κακόν.]The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
Romans 12:19-21 [NRSV (2021 ed.)]More info about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/bible-nt/15586/

I'm a bit annoyed by having someone be surprised and nervous about being offered help carrying stuff at the store. Helping each other should be a normal thing. Not to say anyone should expect people to help them, but it shouldn't be shocking or frightening if someone does.

John Bunyan, Puritan preacher, writes on a life of righteousness. Have you shown more mercy to a dog, an enemy, or a pig, than the poor? Has the person who claims to righteousness ever clothed a naked person? Have they have taken delight in being defrauded?
Would today’s disciples of Bunyan take delight in being defrauded?
Should we consider if we care more about animals than people?
How can you suffer for righteousness sake?

A quotation from Thomas Fuller
Boast not of thy good Deeds, lest thy evil Deeds also be brought upon the Board.
Thomas Fuller (1654-1734) English physician, preacher, aphorist, writer

With the incoming weather I went to my son’s place — first to prepare for flooding, and then had to tie and stake the “carport” which had pulled one of its stakes out in the wind. The frame is warped, but still functional.
I re-tied the problem stake and reattached two more legs to their water barrels and feel just super/heroic. (It is much easier to do these things when it’s light outside than after he gets off work)
Is it nap time now???

It's easy to forget in today's political climate that some decisions are made for secret altruistic ulterior motives. Just because we don't benefit doesn't mean the rigged system is bad.

Gustav Friedrich Oehler, a German scholar, writes on the morality of the day (in 2 Kings 15): heathen superstitions, luxury, and oppression of the poor, which increased with riches.
Today, we believe that a “Rising tide lifts all boats.”
How can you strive for personal morality, avoid superstitions, and use riches for the embetterment of the poor?

Peter Stryker, #Reformed Protestant Dutch pastor, on the poor in NYC, living in substandard tenements. It’s a reproach against the rich who should fund housing, at least for the sake of humanity. He actually hopes his words would disturb the slumbers of the rich.
Governor Desantis took action against a town in Florida that was doing the same.
How can you help those in substandard housing?

Weird, but probably true. Of course if you don't broadcast all your great deeds in politics, or keep them quiet in a job interview that doesn't work so well either.

‘The Gosling Effect’ isn’t about Ryan, the Canadian actor.
It’s about the power of altruism, and the impact of Kevin Gosling, an ordinary Canadian who made a decision to make an anonymous donation of a part of his liver. His persistence changed the health care system and the way unrelated organ donors are viewed.
He is however an uncle to Ryan, in the very large Gosling extended family.
A comprehensive feature from The Ottawa Citizen reports on the transformative impact of Kevin Gosling and the others donors for whom he cleared the path.
‘A total of 2,936 organ transplants were performed in Canada in 2022. Eighty per cent of those transplants used deceased donor organs and 20 per cent used living donor organs. Fifty-two per cent of those living donors were related to the recipient. Forty-eight per cent were unrelated. . .
. . . And yet, outside of Canada, there is still a lack of understanding of how someone can be willing to give part of their organ to a complete stranger.
Dr. Nazia Selzner, who is the medical director of the live donor liver transplantation program at UHN, said she is frequently asked when he travels the world: “What is wrong with these people that they want to help someone else and go through a major surgery?”’
